Twenty-five winners were honored during an awards ceremony on February 27 at the Spring 2013 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. These winners will be featured in Channel Partners' March digital issue, May/June print issue as well as an Immersion Center at www.channelpartnersonline.com. The 2013 program was underwritten by AT&T.

"Unlike other programs that honor size and sales, the Channel Partners 360 Degree Awards recognizes channel partners who are taking a holistic approach to delivery technology solutions that create business value for their customers," said Khali Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of Channel Partners. "We are pleased that our first honorees include an outstanding group of solutions providers."
"We are honored to receive the inaugural Channel Partners 360 Degree Award," says Steven Robb, President - Solutions Group, LaSalle Solutions. "This recognition reinforces our commitment to our customers to deliver life-cycle solutions that enable them to easily scale, integrate, and manage their assets and data to reduce costs, simplify operations and increase efficiencies and productivities in the areas of Asset and Contract Management, Data Center Architecture, Unified Computing, Wireless WAN, BYOD, Data Storage Networking, Cloud Computing and Collaboration."
To determine the winner of Channel Partners 360 Degree, companies created a "Partner Profile" that detailed how the applicant addresses the convergence of IT and telecom services and how the company creates business value for its customers.

Channel Partners editors and an expert panel evaluated all Partner Profiles to determine the top 25 candidates that exemplify the Channel Partners 360 Degree values.
